    anyone know about chugs?

    Vet: "Mrs. Anderson, your Chow Chow is pregnant" Mrs. Anderson: "Really? I had no idea. I knew she was in heat, but we don't have a male dog." Mr. Anderson: "Hey Honey, I remember the neighbor's Dalmation was in the yard playing with her alot lately. He must be the father." Mrs...

    anyone know about chugs?

    A cute name isn't worth the $1,000+ pricetag these BYBs charge for their oddball mixes.

    German Shepherd Vs. Doberman

    Haha! Glad you like it! I live in Michigan... in "da U.P." LOTS of snow here, but that was the most I've seen since I've been here. Couldn't keep that darn dog OFF the roof! I was afraid she was going to jump off the other side & into the front yard! We actually did use that for a...

    Doodles (and how Labradoodles are different)

    I was a tad sarcastic when I said that the Australian Labrapoo was totally unique. I am well aware that it isn't a simple mix of lab & poodle, but has an added injection of several other breeds. The cross may be well on its way towards becoming a breed, but you CANNOT deny that it has a...

    WOW! First I had heard of this! We were thinking of adding a 2nd dobe to the family & had sent away for the HoH info awhile back. Actually had a kennel visit scheduled for July but couldn't make it. Glad to get this bit of info now rather than later! We picked up our "Heidi" from a BYB in...

    German Shepherd Vs. Doberman

    yeah, but can a GSD do this??? (That's my Heidi, waiting/patrolling for Santa!) Total sweetheart, but tell me that look wouldn't intimidate a stranger!

    Doodles (and how Labradoodles are different)

    Of course your Australian Labrapoo is unique! They are all unique because they haven't been bred to the point where there is a definable breed standard. If you don't believe me, look at the Australian Labrapoo's website & read their "standard"! Even THEY can't define their own supposed-breed...

    Help! My hyena keeps fighting w/ the neighbor's baboon!

    ok, the photos were sent to me from a friend who thought they were outrageous. I'm not from Africa, nor do I know any more about this than any of you. As for troll, I don't get that part... please explain.

    Help! My hyena keeps fighting w/ the neighbor's baboon!

    Apparently so. Personally, I can't IMAGINE what these idiots are thinking. These are DANGEROUS animals, and imagine that quite a few of the handlers have been attacked. Hyenas are MUCH stonger than even the fierciest dog! These folks get my votes for the Darwin awards!! Hope they win!

    Help! My hyena keeps fighting w/ the neighbor's baboon!

    Every time I take my hyena out for a walk, she runs over & attacks the neighbor's baboon! I've tried clicker-training and beating her with a big stick, but nothing seems to work! Now, I know those baboons are just asking for it, but hyenas should have much better manners!! Out of...

    I'll get some great photos of my dobie up ASAP! We've got some great ones! But right now, Raven is the focus. She's our 2nd standard (1st one broke her neck as a pup, had a surgery to "pin" her vertebrae, never healed right, & eventually had to be put down because she had a seizure that...

    Different views very interesting! Dog fights

    I have the same problem with my hyena! He's always getting into it with the other pets in the neighborhood, especially the baboons! ;) Of course, a good muzzle makes ALL the difference!

    dyeing my dog blue need help

    To each his (or her) own, but I'm firmly in the non-dyed poodle camp! I take enough ribbing about having a "foo-foo" dog as it is! lol! Not all poodles are girly-dogs!

    Ahh!! I REALLY would like info about confirmation. There are classes nearby & we plan on attending. We've always done "active" showing (obedience, agility, ect.) but no confirmation. Everyone says the AKC is super-political & it is impossible to finish a dog without a pro-handler. Since...

    Hi everyone! Just found this forum after stumbling around the dog-chat world! lol! Anyway, we have two dogs; a 5-yr-old doberman ("Heidi") & a 5-month-old standard poodle ("Raven"). The dobe is our agility champion & the standard was SUPPOSED to be our show dog, but I'm sneaking her out of...
